What you can expect on your emergency department visit: You will be registered and assessed by the triage nurse. You will need to provide your health history, i.e. allergies or special diet, medications, medical conditions and current contact information. Please have your Manitoba Health Card ready. You may be asked to sit in the waiting room; the most critically ill or injured patients will be seen first. Emergency department staff work as a team to give you the best possible care. Always tell the triage nurse if you are feeling worse, need to step outside or leave the hospital. You may need blood work, x-rays or other medical tests to determine the best treatment. While in the emergency department, thank you for respecting the privacy and care of all our patients and, remember: It’s safe to ask any questions. The schedule for Health Centre Emergency Departments is updated weekly. Please call the nearest Health Centre to confirm hours of operation.

Therapeutic Recreation, also known as recreational programming, is provided in all personal care homes and in some other sites as an integral part of the overall care provided. Therapeutic Recreation has been shown to improve heart health, decrease blood pressure, improve strength, flexibility and walking ability, increase alertness, reduce falls, improve verbal interactions and improve morale and life satisfaction. Recreational programming is available for both individuals and groups and is designed to meet one’s physical, emotional, cultural and social needs.
